1. Remove the wire from the solenoid field coil terminal.

Continuity Test Between Solenoid Terminal And Field Coil Terminal:

2. Check for continuity between the solenoid terminal and the field coil terminal with a continuity tester. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty starter assembly.

Continuity Test Between Solenoid Terminal And Solenoid Case:

3. Check for continuity between the solenoid terminal and the solenoid case. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty starter assembly.
4. Connect the solenoid field coil wire to the field coil terminal.
